I found a bucket of 'mother of vinegar' in my storehouse the other day.  Haven't fed the stuff in 4-5 years.  It was a 5 gallon, insulated, gatorade jug (think softball team/soccer) half filled with raisins, water, fruit juice and vinegar 'mother.

Opened it to show a friend (mojo) and added a handful of the mother to a jar of apple juice that I had on hand.

Still active after years of dormancy, still a deep, rich 'vinegar' odor.

Does anyone else here make thier own vinegar? Use it for storing eggs? pickles?

It has been years (obviously) since I had any interest in it, and could use afew pointers to bring me back up to date on homemade vinegar, shelf life, and production.

all of the canning books I have read do not recomend home made vineagar for canning/pickeling because you do not know the
strength, but if you have the chemestry bits [known base and litmus]and the skill you could titrate it and find out.
